Goodmorning Vietnam


This is An here! I have been in Vietnam for over 5 weeks now, and this weekend Rodolfo came to visit me to do some house searching.

On the photo you can see me in my apartment next to the pictures of my family and a portrait painting of Yil. I haven't yet found any painting school or teacher who provides classes in the weekend, so I painted this portrait without any help. Yil hasn't seen it yet. I hope he likes it!

Ro, here. An has a nice little house on her own. It has two rooms and I was honored when she showed me mine... (that was a joke, ok?)

House hunting was tough, but I think we'll get something interesting by the time we move here in July. The growth in Vietnam is visible in every inch of asphalt laid down or every new building in town, roads, highways, more cars (uff, more cars), restaurants, bikes, people, people, more people! as if it didn't have enough before. The demand of land and houses is so big, the big companies are paying whatever they are asking for them to keep their expats in nice houses and that's affecting the economy and the prices. It seems it all is going to come down again. But when?

Did you guys see the painting An did of Yil? click on it so it gets larger. She's a natural!

Well, tomorrow back to Bangkok. I lost one rehearsal on Saturday we can't afford that. The show must go on and it will on the next 28th of May.

  • WAO !! tia An, you really are on a roll. Great painting. You look great too. Best of luck finding a home back in Vietnam. Let's see if Patrick and I can make it this time and visit you all during this phase. Keep on painting, hope you find a class, but if not, keep on, practice makes better. Besos y muchos carinos,
